I got pulled for that a few years ago and the cop just let me off with speeding. If they didn’t tell you it was reckless then it’s just for speeding

If it's just speeding, $6 per mile over the speed limit (so at 84 in a 70, $84 plus costs). If you have a good record, as others have said, likely you can do driving school and have it ultimately dismissed.

The threshold was changed to 85 a couple years ago.

§ 46.2-862. Exceeding speed limit.

A person is guilty of reckless driving who drives a motor vehicle on the highways in the Commonwealth (i) at a speed of 20 miles per hour or more in excess of the applicable maximum speed limit or (ii) in excess of 85 miles per hour regardless of the applicable maximum speed limit.

I just looked it up and you’re right it does say 80+ is reckless driving. No where on my ticket does say reckless driving or RD or anything, just speeding. But I guess I’ll look more into it to be sure. Thanks!

For affordable, delicious vegan food: Minglewood, Harrison Street Cafe. If you don't mind venturing to Henrico, Second and Charles has lots of comics and manga, and there's a great Thai place and a wonderful Iraqi bakery/lunch spot nearby, with vegan options like falafel, really good hummus, fresh stone-baked bread, etc. The Thai place is called Chadar and the Iraqi bakery is called Nineveh.
